Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan will lead a July 8 event at the downtown arena, part of the inaugural Outlaw Music Festival Tour, a six-city outing inspired by a Pennsylvania fest of the same name last year.

Joining them on the Joe date will be Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow and the California band Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, and the daylong affair will also feature offerings from Detroit restaurants, breweries and craftsmen.

Tickets are $39.50-$129.50 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. April 21 via Ticketmaster, the box offices at Joe Louis Arena and the Fox Theatre, and the Hockeytown Authentics shop in Troy.

Today's announcement adds one more event to the Joe's homestretch as the 38-year-old riverside venue gets set to be replaced by Little Caesars Arena in the fall. The Detroit Red Wings' Sunday game was the team's final Joe appearance, and just a handful of events remain on the docket, including the Chainsmokers (April 27), Hall & Oates with Tears for Fears (May 17) and the WWE's SummerSlam Heatwave (July 29).
